My football itch got the better of me this offeason and I ended up pre-ordering. Walmart had a deal where you could get the standard edition plus a $20 Xbox card.

Kinda disappointed to hear the content is sparse so far.

Well it still hasn't "officially" released yet. I wouldn't worry, I'm sure there will be plenty of content. EA isn't going to miss out on an opportunity to further enrich themselves.

Yeah, the lack of MUT content this year initially is poor, but as always they will pack in a ton. Gameplay feels the best it has in a few years. Hopefully they dont tweak it back to being poor. Hope everyone likes it because this will be the base for NCAA

I'm already over it. I swear everyone watches the same videos or orders the same ebooks. MUT players run nothing but bunch flood/drag/mesh type plays. So many ways to run it so it's hard to defend. 9/10 players running that and the 3-3 defense.

Guess I'm too old school and the online gaming is passing me by lol

Four verts was broken vs press coverage in NCAA 14. You could literally hot route all your pressed receivers to run go routes on the fly. Never a more broken play than that, but everyone still loved the game.

All that to say.. it’s not passing you by. Madden just ****ing sucks.

Switched to a 4-6 playbook from 3-4 and it's made a huge difference. Not crazy about it, but we are pretty much forced to adapt because so many players run the exact same $ht in MUT.

I've had some fun with it so far, but man, this game and series could be so much better than what is the final product year after year. Franchise is barely ever upgraded and everything else is so bare bones with no depth.

Even in MUT, if EA actually tried and allowed customization for your team like in Diamond Dynasty it would make it 100x better and more immersive.

In the new Headliners challenges, there is one called "One for the people" . Requirements are to score a TD in 9 played and return the opening punt for 20 yards. Bonus is gain 25+ in 3 plays and to perform 2 ball carrier moves.

I can only get 4* no matter what I do. People on my friends list have gotten 5*. Possible glitch?

If I return the point, do 2 ball carrier moves in the process and score on the punt return, I get 4*. If I don't score, it ends the challenge with 4*. No matter what I do, I can't get an attempt to run any plays for the 5th star. What am I missing here

I believe for that challenge you have to either score in 9 plays or return the punt 20+ yards. Not necessarily both.

I just focused on getting the bonuses within the ensuing drive in 9 plays after the punt return and got 5 stars.

This is the way. It took me a couple of times to understand. Don't return the punt.

Im an idiot.... I bought the game, but it installed the XB1 version instead of the X/S..... I have both no idea why it installed last gen. Ive already ripped a bundle on old gen before i noticed, so theres $ down the drain. Since you can play both versions on one console I wish stuff was transferable for that reason.

My trial ran up and I decided to buy. Having a lot of fun on 2v2 superstar KO with a buddy. Definitely gonna dig into MUT now since I've taken the plunge.

MUT ruined Madden. Franchise mode is a shell of what it was in the 00's.
Franchise was struggling a LOT way before MUT was a thing. It's a business and sports games are just not sustainable as yearly releases without some form of microtransactions. Just the reality

Are you a spokesperson for EA? Good god man pull the wool from over your eyes. Microtransactions are evil and in no way necessary for a videogame. Its corporate greed and nothing else. Plenty of videogames don't have microtransactions. You're being hoodwinked.

But go ahead and spend $300 on madden cards because thats exactly what EA wants you to do, instead of actually making the gameplay better. Why make a good videogame when they can just take advantage of people like you and milk them for all their worth

A ton of assumptions here.........wrong ones. I don't spend dollars and dollars on these modes. They make these games to make money..........for no other reason. Franchise was stale as hell long before 2010 when MUT first came out, it's much more than MUT being there making franchise just the same if not less. Games sell now for 70 bucks, which if you go back to what games were on 360, before these card games, games sold for 60. 60 bucks in 2005 is 93 bucks today (inflation). So the money is going to come from somewhere.

No matter what they do to franchise people aren't going to be happy with it. Add back hot dog prices and it'll take a month for people to forget about it. Make 10 trade slots on each side and people will still take advantage of the block.

Gameplay is much more important and so far this is one of the better games that's been released lately.

As far as MUT you don't have to spend a ton of money on it, I was going to and did on the wrong version of the game, but on the series X console I haven't spent anything. This year so far at least is one of the better NMS years EA has had. I'm a LVL 11 and have gotten a QB, RB, WR 2, TE, DB, SS all from just grinding levels. I had about 100k in coins after doing solos which was plenty to fill out the rest of my squad. I'm at an 80 overall which is plenty for me to be competitive with right now.

NCAA 14 (with CFB revamped) is video game football at its best. I actually used to enjoy MUT because they gave away enough free stuff from doing challenges to build a stacked team, but it continues to go downhill.

And Madden 24 is scripted animation BS so bad that you might as well flip a coin. I’ll take the video game Football in my.. video game.

Game keeps getting stuck after rewards. Have restarted 5 times in a row now and still can't progress forward. Anyone else having this issue lately? Seems past week it's been a common occurrence
